Some more photos...

Some more photos of Mostar...Me with our cook, Mirjana - alias "Bosanska Mama". She used to cook the most amazing food - really spoiled us! I remember visiting her house and she would speak to me in Bosnian and I would try to respond as best I could using my little Bosnian /Croation dictionary and the language I'd picked up over my time there. It was awesome! The sky line of Mostar is quite interesting...having the Muslim minarets and the one tall Roman catholic tower all in the same picture! One of the most common/traditional food in Bosnia is cevapi (small unskinned sausages) in a pita-like bread. Very delicious!!! The picture with the two girls, lady and me is dear friends of mine: Sanja and her two daughters Andrea and Matea. Loved visiting there place as well! To give a closer look of Mostar, I've added two photos of the streets we used to walk in. I've also included the gate of the East Mostar evangelical church. There are only two evangelical churches in Mostar - one on the East (predominantly Muslim side) and West (predominantly Croation r.catholic side). There are only a handful of evangelical churches in Bosnia (maybe one in a town - max two) and the total amount of Christians in the country is 500 +. To explain a bit more, there are 3 ethnic groups - Serbs (Greek orthodox), Croats (R.Catholic) and Bosniaks (Muslim). For most people their religion is part of their background/identity - it defines who they are and they don't necessarily practice it. For them to change religion (become a Christian for example) would be to betray their heritage and often they would be rejected by family and friends. The need is great, but praise God - we serve a caring, loving, forgiving compassionate Saviour Who has overcome this world and no obstacle or man made tradition can stop His love from reaching the nations...may we be His hands and feet!
